The Invisible String

The Invisible String was recommended by our pediatrician after my brother passed earlier this year, and I’m so grateful we found it. It explains connection, love, and grief in such a gentle, reassuring way that really clicked with my kids. The message is simple but powerful — that we’re always connected to the people we love, even when they’re not physically with us. Reading it together opened up conversations we needed to have, and it helped my children feel safe, seen, and supported during a really hard time. It’s beautifully written, beautifully illustrated, and such a comfort. Truly a 5/5 book for any family navigating loss, separation, or big feelings. Highly recommend.

My ADHD daughter has separation anxiety. Her therapist recommended this book. It’s a great book for young kids who struggle with separation anxiety. It explains how you are still connected even when apart from those who you love and you are never truly alone. We read it every night!

This may be the sweetest book I’ve ever read. It is great if you have a child who is scared to go somewhere like school. The author did a great job with it as did the illustrator.

The Invisible String is a beautifully written and heartfelt book that teaches children (and adults) about the unbreakable connections we share with the people we love, even when we are apart. The story provides a comforting and reassuring message, making it perfect for children who experience separation anxiety, loss, or simply need a reminder that love transcends distance. I recently read this book to my daughter’s class for her birthday, and it was an absolute hit! The children were engaged and excited to share their own “invisible strings,” creating a wonderful discussion about love and connection. The message resonated so deeply that I gifted the book to the teacher, who loved it so much that she plans to read it to her students every year. She even had my daughter sign it as a special keepsake, which made the moment even more meaningful. The illustrations are warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the story’s gentle and uplifting tone. I highly recommend The Invisible String for parents, teachers, and anyone looking for a book that fosters emotional resilience and a sense of security in children. It’s a timeless and invaluable addition to any home or classroom library!

It is the book that you wish.No kid ever needed. I am so glad that it is here.My sweet five year old grandson has been through so much death in his little five years. He lost his data , two and a half , and he just lost his grandfather and the grandfather's dog. I am so glad that books like this exist.Because my sweet grandson and his little tender heart need books like this and his loved ones to read them.

My grandkids love this book, they lost there fur baby that had been with them since they wear born of 8,5,3,1,years and this book helped alot

I bought this book for my kids because their dad is an over-the-road truck driver and he's gone for about 4-5 weeks at a time and home for 1 week. I have 3 gripes about this book and admittedly two of them are just personal preferences, but I'll start with something I really like about it. There is a sentence in the book that says how love is stronger than anger and I just really like that part. I also love the scenes where the kids are imagining themselves in different places like in a submarine, on top of a mountain, in space and asking if the string reaches those places. My 3 gripes are as follows: 1. There is no father in the book. I understand that the author is a single mom and that there are many different families out there, but I bought this book specifically because my children's dad is gone a lot so that kind of sucks for my purposes. However, it's a personal preference and in the part where she talks about being away from the kids I just interject in the story and talk about how it's the same for their dad when he's out on his truck working hard. 2. There is page that asks if the string can reach all the way to heaven. I'm agnostic and am raising my kids to be free-thinkers. My oldest is six and has a receptive speech delay and I'd prefer not to really bring up the after-life until absolutely necessary or until he's able to grasp a conversation about how different people believe in different things. Again, it's just a personal preference and i just skip over that page. 3. This one is less of a personal preference and more of a flaw in logic on the authors part. The book is called The INVISIBLE String. It's about an INVISIBLE string, but when the mom introduces the INVISIBLE string she holds it up to the kids as if they can see it! I just don't understand it lol. Why would you hold up something you know they can't see? HOWEVER, it's only about a total of four sentences where it's about her holding up the string and the kids trying to see it. I've crossed those parts out with a pencil and just skip over them. The main point of the string is still told in between those sentences where she says it's a special string made of love and again where she says that you can't see it with your eyes, but you can feel it with your heart. Overall, if I skip over the few parts I don't like and interject the sentence about "Dad", it's a good book and I'm glad I purchased it. It tells a decent story about Love being a force that knows no bounds.

This book is AMAZING!! Great for family/friends far away, separation anxiety, grief/loss, divorce, or just sharing neverending love. Every kid should have this book.

We can't see it but it is there bonding us with those we love. A beautiful lesson that we are never truly alone.

Help your kid with separation anxiety and read this book together.

Lovely story and illustrations. I hope my whole family will read it.
